Kelsey Schaffer
About Kelsey
Kelsey is a full-time artist specializing in watercolor and acrylic painting, with a primary focus on live event painting. Born and raised in Cleveland, she now splits her time between Ohio and the Carolinas. When she’s not painting, she can often be found at the beach with friends, exploring new coffee shops, or spending time outdoors with her husband, baby, and golden retriever.
Although Kelsey has been creating art her entire life, she began pursuing art professionally in 2020 and joining Cloud Studio in 2022. Her work is inspired by the beauty of architecture and the natural world—elements that frequently find their way into her live paintings.
Whether she’s capturing the atmosphere of a wedding, celebration, or special gathering in real time, Kelsey finds deep joy in documenting meaningful moments as they unfold. Her goal is to create artwork that evokes emotion and preserves the energy of a specific place and time—turning life’s fleeting moments into lasting visual stories.
